     a290 - Roman Imperial

     Hadrian, Emperor 117 – 138 AD, AR Denarius, Rome Mint, 134 -138
     AD, 3.42gm, 17mm, Obv: Laureate head right, HADRIANVS AVG.COS.III
     P.P., Rev: FIDES PVBLICA, Fides standing right, holding corn-ears
     and basket of fruit, RIC 241a, Common, nice Fine to VF, pretty
     coin with a nice portrait, good metal, moderate wear and a
     slightly irregular flan.

     In “A Dictionary of Ancient Roman Coins”, Jones says of Fides,
     “’Good faith, loyalty, trustworthiness’, a personification
     frequently represented on Roman coins in the form of a female
     figure. The abstract idea of Fides is sometimes expressed in
     other ways. The cult of Fides (specifically Fides Publica or the
     good faith of the State) was practiced in Rome from a very early
     time…but on coins of Vespasian and on those of many later
     emperors ears of grain and a basket of fruit are more commonly
     found. This suggests that the idea behind the FIDES PVBLICA which
     such coins promise is the reliability of the grain supply (cf.
     Annona).” The temple of Fides in Rome was also called the Fides
     Publica and the temple of Fides Publica Populi Romani.
